TE AWAMUTU TROTTING CLUB.

SECOND ANNUAL MEETING

The Te Awamutu Trotting Club will hold their second annual meeting on the Te Awamutu racecourse on Wednesday, January 12, and as the fixture is being held in the same month as the Waikato T.C. and Cambridge T.C. gatherings it can safely count on very strong patronage, as quite a number of light harness racing devotees contemplate being represented by one or more horses at the circuit of country meetings. The officials of the Te Awamutu Trotting Club have drawn up an attractive programme, which cannot fail to meet with a gratifying response from owners.

The Te Awamutu Trotting Club Cup (harness), of lOOsovs., two miles, in which the limit is 4.54, is the principal event, while the following harness races will also be decided at the fixture: —Waikato Trotting Club’s Handicap, of 52sovs., iy z miles, for all horses that have never won at better than 2.30 to the mile at time of starting, limit, 3.56; Pirongia Handicap, of 37sovs., iy 2 miles, limit 3.48; Ohaupo Handicap, of 42sovs., one mile, limit 2.30; and the Te Awamutu Dairy Cup Handicap, of 72sovs., two
